<h3>Details</h3>

<p>The past thirty years of personality research has led to a general consensus on the identification of major dimensions of personality. Variously known as the &ldquo;Big 5&quot; or the &ldquo;Five Factor Model&quot;, the general solution represents 5 broad domains of personal and interpersonal experience.  Neuroticism and Extraversion are thought to reflect sensitivity to negative and positive cues from the environment and the tendency to withdraw or approach.  Openness is sometimes labeled as Intellect and reflects an interest in new ideas and experiences.  Agreeableness and Conscientiousness reflect tendencies to get along with others and to want to get ahead.
</p>
<p>The factor structure of the NEO suggests five correlated factors as well as two higher level factors.  The NEO was constructed with 6 &ldquo;facets&quot; for each of the five broad factors.
